Jackson bares breast during half time show

Pop superstar Janet Jackson lost her chest plate during her Super Bowl XXXVIII half time performance, giving football fans an unexpected peep show. It appeared as though singer Justin Timberlake ripped it off as part of the show, revealing Jackson's right breast with a silver star on it. Did someone go too far?

Oh my!

Jackson's right breast was visible for a split second on national

television! Duh.

When do the Americans finally learn to deal with sexuality and stop being

so narrow-minded and prudish?

I thought the half time show was absolutely rediculous! People

wonder why our kids today act like they do. Crotch grabbing crap! Janet and

Justin are both a joke, too bad people actually buy their crap. The best

part about not being there was that I could change the channel.

I would like to see it again.

The half-time show was AWFUL! Only the music was worse than the

dancers, and then the stunt by that no-talent Timber-knucklehead. Wow.

The sad thing is that Timber-knucklhead will make more $$$ this year than

most of us will se in 30 years. I hope that the NFL does a better job next

year in pickign the act for the half time show. At least it can't possibly

get any worse! Way to go Pats!

Grow up America!! Grow up CBS !!!

A police state with censorship of all sort is what this great Nation is

becoming. Go ahead and destroy the little freedom we have left.

Why isn't anyone objecting to the relentless crotch-grabbing that went on during the halftime set as well? Doesn't anyone find it inappropriate that CBS aired THAT during prime time/family viewing time? And appropriateness aside, what exactly is it that makes these performers think that grabbing their crotch will be either impressive and/or entertaining to viewers?

thank you tivo!

.and if they're going to apolgize for anything how about an apology for putting aerosmith and kid rock in the show.

The Pats are the BEST!!! Congratulations to everyone back in New England!

The halftime show was awful - OK for MTV awards but not the superbowl!

An accident ... does it matter ? It shouldn't have happened!!

Typical MTV bulls***. She isn't talented enough to entertain a nationwide audience and this will get much more attention than just a normal performance. Otherwise, none of us would be writing in on these pages. Aerosmith should have played at the halftime and let Jackson stay on MTV where she belongs.
